View active NZU buy requests
Buy requests give verified buyers a way to signal the NZU quantity, offer price and timing they are looking for. Sellers can respond from the account area once they are approved to trade.
How buy requests work
A buy request reverses the usual listing pattern. Instead of a seller publishing available units, a buyer records demand for a defined quantity and price. This can help sellers identify serious demand and gives buyers a more structured way to source NZUs when there are no suitable current listings.
Requests remain subject to funding, verification and settlement controls. Carbon Trader® is designed to show public activity only when it is appropriate, while actual sell-now responses and settlement records remain inside authenticated account workflows. For the wider policy context, see the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme.
For sellers, a funded buy request is often the fastest route to a completed trade: the buyer's NZD is already confirmed into escrow before the request is published, so accepting one moves straight into settlement rather than negotiation. If none of the current requests match your parcel, you can ask the broker desk to test buyer appetite privately instead.
